Abstract
Magnesium ferrite (MF0.33) impregnated flower-shaped mesoporous ordered silica foam (MOSF) was successfully synthesized in present study. MOSF was added with precursor solution of MF0.33 during MF0.33 synthesis which soaked the materials and further chemical changes occurred inside the pore. Therefore, no additional synthesis process was required for magnesium ferrite impregnated mesoporous ordered silica foam (MF0.33-MOSF) synthesis. MF0.33-MOSF showed higher morphological properties compared to other magnesium ferrite modified nanomaterials and adsorbed arsenic III [As(III)] and arsenic V [As(V)] 42.80 and 39.73 mg/g respectively. These were higher than those of other Fe-modified adsorbents at pH 7. As MOSF has no adsorption capacity, MF0.33 played key role to adsorb arsenic by MF0.33-MOSF. Data showed that MF0.33-MOSF contain about 2.5 times lower Fe and Mg than pure MF0.33 which was affected the arsenic adsorption capacity by MF0.33-MOSF. Adsorption results best fitted with Freundlich isotherm model. The possible mechanism of arsenic adsorption might be chemisorption by electrostatic attraction and inner or outer-sphere surface complex formation.
